Comment from CD Richards
Brilliantly penned, Debbie.
The research for this piece is as impressive as the excellent voice and poetical mechanics - impeccable rhyme and meter. Great closing quote to finish on the perfect note.
This world could do with more people of real courage and conviction, instead of the charlatans who are paraded in front of us daily.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Politics. Go figure. The world's greatest bane, as time and again "Vote for me" means more to them than it should to us. In my life there have been too few in office for the good of all people. Maybe JFK, Reagan and Ike,
and as for congress? God only knows.

And I've just heard from Tempeste about this obscene individual George Soros! Seems the world is being taken over and a new one reinstated by these obnoxious, self-serving billionnaires! Heaven help us! Keep the comedy/satire coming, Tom-that's all we've got left! Thanks for your review, Debbie
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Alexei Nivalny, presented with ten ABCB-rhymed quatrains, gives great respect for this courageous yet persecuted man who would have truth come to Russia.

Thank you so much, Bill, for your kind review which is always greatly appreciated! He's an amazing man who will certainly go down in history even if he never gets out alive. I always thought the Russian people, strong as they once were, would resist but this has proved conclusively the full might of Putin's oppression over the last 20 years. Take care Debbie
Comment from estory
I applaud you for writing about a true fighter for freedom and democracy. He has amazing inner strength, and superhuman determination to see this thing through. And it shows the true nature of Putin, for anyone still not convinced of his Stalinesque style. I'm not optimistic about his chances, nor for the chances for Russia, which has such a long history of being ruled by despot leaders. estory

Thank you so much for your kind review and thoughtful comments! I think he probably has no chance until regime change and then probably little after that. But, in his fearless resistance, he will continue to represent so much in the years to come of one man's stand against an evil dictatorship and its mightily effective force to silence an otherwise strong and brave people. His life will never be wasted....as long as there's good left in the world. Take care Debbie
Comment from Katie Mae Dead
Firstly, thanks so much for your fascinating notes!
What a poem you've woven here. Meter and rhymes are spot-on and I much appreciate your use of that famous quote in your last stanza. This is quite an undertaking and a very powerful message as well.
Excellently done Debbie.

Debbie,
Thank you for bringing this urgent story to light in a poem. It is incredible that a man would forsake his freedom in order to fight for his country's liberation from the despot that Putin is.
Exceptional work.
Good luck with this one!

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
This is a truthful, wonderful, and informative poem. Your Author Note is well researched and presented. I was always praying hard when I think of him see the movie and news stories and I feel helpless also in the USÃ? with a certain percentage of people having had drunken Trump's Kool Aid, it's hard to imagine when we will have a world without fear of starting ww3. I pray for the day he steps into the light of the sun FREE and POWERFUL.

Thank you so much, Alex for your kind rating and thoughtful comments, all greatly appreciated! In his view, he remains free and powerful as long as the world will listen and resist fear in dealing with this global terrorist (and others for that matter). I don't know how he keeps hope alive when he leads a life of utter torture. Thanks for your time, Debbie
Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for telling us about Navalny. His courageous stance against Putin is admirable. But I wonder why he returned to Russia, knowing full well what they would do to him. Putin is a dangerous tyrant who controls all the security teams as he used to be the KGB. Hope more Russians will stand up against Putin.
